 have book in my work library called Great Fortunes printed nearly twenty years ago, which tells of the struggles of the merchants, capitalists, inventors, literary men, who have attained phenomenal good fortune.
 Among others I find the names of Stephen Girard, John J. Astor, A T. Stewart, Amos Lawrence, Jonas Chickering, George Pea body, Charles Goodyear. Elias Howe, Jr., Richard Howe, Samuel Colt, James Harper, James Gordon Bennett and Robert Bonner.

They were all rich men, substantial men, and their success, their triumphs, aided the upbuildius Of com muui;ies, the advancement of science, the de- veiopmeut of great, broad ideas, the uplifting of humanity and the development of art. They were all of some service in their day, and not one of them ever failed for S2J,JOJ,- OJl

Fraudulent and straw bonds, habeas corpus farces, etc, have been the rule heretofore-s0 much so the jury, perhaps, were 10th to stir up such nest Of fraud, for there was 10 knowing where the thing would end "-Critic, March 10.
 Exceedingly complimentary to the late grand jury, On the 17th of March-just one week after pub fishing the above-the Critic comes out in an editorial headed ''Is it a Hold-up Gamer" Then goes on to uphold the Court Commissioner, after its non-cOmmittal, back-hand- ed fashion, and to find fault with our authorities for not accepting the bonds offered in the case of Sol Earth, That journal, surely, has not forgotten the history of the case of Charles Kinnear already. If not, will 1t answer a few qucs- tions for the information of the public. Will it tell the people whom Charles Kinnear was brought before when he gave his bonds? Will it inform the public who his bondsmen were, and whether the bond has been paid? Will it give an account of the manner in which these hondsmen acted. when Judge Shields called on them to produce the body of Charles Kinnear, or pay the bond? Does it not know that the charges under which Sol Earth is now in custody are closely allied to the charges against Chas. Kinnear? Does 1t want another such habeas corpus farce enacted over again? Does it want such bare-faccd outrages to be continued without end? We would like the Critic to give us its version ot these transactions, just to gratify the public and let them know the char acter of the men it is upholding.
 We will inform that paper, ;.s it

THE HERALD has sad nothing in favor of County Courts, nor any thing to the contrary. Nothing has ever appeared in this p'per, under its present management, concern ing County Courts. There was an article published on the 16th of December, 1886, in which it simply reported what the records had to say about its usefulness and cost, and remarked that we did not be- lieve the county could afford to maintain the District and County Courts-with this it was left to the people. We are of that opinion still. and have seen no reasons to change it.
 That the abolishment of the County Court at the time, and af- ter the Legislature had been peti- toned not to permit the bill to take effect immediately, was both de- plorable and we think inexcusable Reasons why the County Court should have been permitted to con tinue its session until the conclu- sion of all business had been reached is we'll known to every one, and its abolishmentin the midst oi its session was deplored by all good citizens. We are not looking fol minoritics or majorities, and are not paying very high price fol friendship as it is understood by the Critic.
 We only publish these remarks for the benefit of some of our read CTS, ard not in answer to the efful- gent cffusions of which the Critic is so noted, or the Baby Elephant or his trainers and legal lights ot the editorial staff, appropriately styled "Slug :" and Amigo of the Fourteenth" for they might con. strue the remarks into a bank check and endeayor to shove it upon some of the New Mexico banks, even though it happen to belong to some one else.

IT APPEARS to be troubling the Critic and its attorneys-in-fact, as 10 who is editing the HERALD. We print at the head of our columns the name of its editor and mana ger, and if any further information is wanted on this particular point, we will gladly give it, and will say that we are always to be found in our office, where we will receive and entertain the Baby Elephant and its legal trainers, gratuitously for one week, that q better acquaint- ance may result.

= "GIvE them plenty of rope, and they will hang themselves" is an old and true saying. The good citizens of Apache county can ccr- tainly not be charged with refusing to give them plenty of rope. They have had coils of it.

THE Atlantic and Pacific Rail road Company says its charter en- tirely exempls it from taxation still it is very anxious and is mak- ing itself very conspicuous before our county authorities, endeayoring to get them to accept a comprom- ise. Why railroad, or any other corporation, that is exempt from taxation by an act of Congress, wants to compromise the basis oi its taxation with county authori- ties, we are at loss to know. This Company, however, says it will pay on q basis of S2,000 per mile, just to put the county and that Com pany upon amicable relations does not intend to pay 1t as a tax but to donate it as q present to fos- ter the friendly relations of the county. There is something queer about this, at any rate the Atlantic and Pacific Company manifests it. self ill this instance as a philan- thropic corporation unparalleled in modern history.

We are authorized to state that Mir. Tuning holds dOcu- ments, written in plain English, which prove the remarks of the Critic tu be utterly false.

criminals.

WE once asked the manager of the famous Armour packing house Of Chicago: ''In butchering hogs how much is wasted?" His reply was, I've use every part of hog but its shriek, and we expect to find q way of using it's shriek some day"
 Recent events have clearly de monstrated that the Apache County Critic, and every measure 1t advo- cated, has been slaughtered; noth- ing is left Of the Critic, but it's dy- ing shriek.
 In justice to the Chicago hog, we desire to say our comparison between 1t and the Critic, is not in tended as q slight to the porker, even if the shriek of hog uidy never be utilized, we use and esteem it's bacon. In the case of the Critic, it's carcass and its shriek are both worthless.
 Examine the pages of the Critic published March 10th, 1887, what is found? Governor, legislature, grand jury and esteemed private citizens are ihdiscriminately as sailed, and how? By inuendo, after the fashion of an assassin, who stabs a man in the back. Not a single charge is made openly and above board-offenses arc hinted at, but the fellow that does thls nasty work, like snake in the grass, hisses out his venom-a ven omous reptile sort of d fellow, with bags of poison in his skull instea,! of brains.
 We have an idea about the Critic $ quarrel with the Governor ana ibc Fourteenth Legislature, the clue !" which is to be found in the Iarg, man and the empty, hungry belly of the Critic-rather nasty pia to hunt for facts, but we fancy the, can be found right there
 When the Critic, however, dedic with Apache county men and meas ures, the truth can be readily as- certained.
 By common consent, the grand jury it so wantonly attacks, was one of the best that has ever hon. ored our county with it's labors. As the gallant General Bragg, of Wis consin, said of Cleveland at the nominating convention in Chicago, I"We love him for the enemies he has made" So say We of the grand jury-we love them for the enemies they have made. There is not a murderer, thief or malefactor ot any kind or grade in this county. who does not hate our Sheriff. our Probate Judge, our District Attor- ney, and the grand jury which served us so we'll :; the Critic is on the same side of the fence. It Is an honor and g compliment to be hated by such crowd.
 Touching the islanders of the Critic, concerning Mir. Henry Hun ing-we are not called upon to de fend that gentleman. We fancy he can take excellent care of hini- self. We are authorized, however, to challenge the Critic to furnish proofs of the charges 1t, until now, only dares to hint at. Produce them, thou dying shriekerl Alas with the death rattle already in your throat, truth, which never came out of it, can hardly be ex- pected now.
 Farewell Ia, ta! Sorry we can not make any further use of your shriek !
 We again ask pardon of the Chi cago hog for the comparisons We have made.
